Hello people! Thanks again for all your awesome reviews and I hope that you all haven't waited too long… my volleyball season has just ended (sniffsniff) but we're just conditioning now, such as running up and down the bleachers… oh fuh. Lobz. But that also means I should have more time to update now because we don't have any more games, etc. So, enjoy the next chapter, thanks to all of you for all your awesome sexy reviews! Love always, -lala. Ps. Drop by a review!

She wasn't sure exactly how she wanted her hair done. Kori was at her hairstylist, Jaccobs, during her free sixth period and was wondering how she should do it for tonight's auction. As seniors at Gotham Prep, they were allowed to go off campus if they had a free period, and could do whatever they wanted, as long as Gotham Prep's name still stayed in the top school in the nation. Kori tapped her finger along the side of her mouth as she looked at herself in the mirror. Normally, she would just drop her hair down, or put it in braids, but because this auction was supposedly such a big event, Kori had to look beautiful. That was just when her cell phone rang.

"Speaking," Kori said into her cell phone as she grabbed her bag. Behind her, Jaccobs tapped her chair impatiently, but Kori knew he could wait.

"Hey, Kor," the familiar voice said over the phone.

"Oh, hey, Richard. What's up?" Kori said. She grabbed a piece of her hair and stared at it. Then, she shook her head vigorously… 'No,' she thought, 'it doesn't look good like that.'

"Just bored. Hey where were you? I went to go to math class and tried to call you, but you didn't have your phone on," Richard said. Kori sighed.

"Oh yea. Sorry, I'm at the hair salon getting my hair done… no big," Kori said.

"Okay, then. Well, I'll see you tonight then, kay?" Richard said.

"Sure. Byeee," Kori said before hanging up. She put the phone back into its case and into her large bag. Then she motioned for Jaccobs to come back. Kori knew the perfect look she wanted… and he was going to make it work.

Rachael…

Rachael and Garfield were slowly walking out from the school. They lined up along the carpool line, waiting to cross. There were the freshmen and sophomores being picked up by their parents in sporty convertibles. The seniors and juniors had their own parking spaces each, but it was up to you if you wanted to drive yourself, or like most students at Gotham Prep, hire your own chauffeur to drive you in a limo.

"I have a ton of homework today," Garfield said as he crossed the busy lane with Rachael.

"Deal with it. That's what being a senior is all about," Rachael said. She preferred to drive her own car, even though she clearly had more than one chauffeur. Normally, Garfield went with her. They got into her black Mercedes, and she drove out of the school and towards Garfield's home.

Victor…

Homecoming was coming up, and the coaches were training Victor as if there was clearly no end. He ran and ran and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. However, Victor had more things on his mind, such as the big dance coming up. Obviously, Richard and Kori were going to go together, that was an unspoken rule. Perhaps if Garfield talked to her, Rachael would go with Garfield, and that left the lonely Victor with himself, and clearly, the quarterback of the school's football team must have a date. 'Man, whoever thought up this whole R and K and G and RA thing is retarded,' Victor thought to himself. He considered all the possible senior girls he could ask. As he thought about it, he crossed each one off his mind. 'Hmm,' he thought.

Richard…

"Good day, Master Richard. How was school?" Alfred asked as he watched the teenager fumble with his book bag.

"Hey, Alfred. It's okay. I have a ton of homework," Richard said as he sighed. "Good, and Miss Anders?"

"Good! Oh, uh, Kori? She's doing pretty well right now. The last time I talked to her, she was getting her hair done for the auction tonight," Richard said.

"Wonderful. And Master Bruce also reminds me that you must be sure that you look good tonight. It's a wonder if this whole auction doesn't come out as a maelstrom," Alfred said under his breath.

"Fine," Richard answered.

Kori…

Kori smiled to herself. She was smart enough to ask all her teachers earlier the homework at the beginning of the school week, and had absolutely no homework for tonight. Now, she had time to indulge herself with whatever shopping expenses she had wanted.

"First stop, Versace," Kori said softly to herself. Her new hairstyle for tonight shining. She had the perfect hair, now she needed the perfect dress.

She had just arrived at the store and drove into the parking lot. The entire store was empty, except for its workers. They noticed her immediately.

"Why, hello, Miss Anders! What a pleasure it is to see you again," the store manager said as she smiled her fake botox smile and led Kori inside. "What can I get you today?"

"Well, I need a dress for the auction tonight… make it elegant, but simple?" Kori said.

"I see. Perfect," the manager said. She nodded to an employee to bring out a whole rack of dresses.

"Thank you," Kori said. She grabbed a couple of dresses off the rack and headed towards a fitting room.

She sighed. Kori was deciding between two different dresses. One was a spaghetti strapped dress that was red with a low-dip top and the dress flowed down below to reveal a pair of Jimmy Choo's. The other, was a strapless pink dress that flowed out in a "princess" cut, that tied with black heels from Versace. Kori tried on each one, finally agreeing to the dark red dress with the Jimmy's. She took out the dresses and handed the one she wanted to the cashier. That was when she was mobbed by a bunch of paparazzi.

"Kori, are you worried about the auction tonight?"

"Kori, what is your idea on this year's football team?"

"Kori, is it true you and Richard Grayson got heated?"

"Kori, is it true that you and Richard Grayson are a couple now?"

She sighed. She had this every time she went out. Kori gave an innocent smile to each of them and shrugged. She then headed out with her bag and out towards the car she had taken out today: a red Porsche.

Who's up and ready for the auction tonight? Well, I'll just leave up all the comments for when we come back. Enjoy yourselves!

Auction…

Kori walked in with her parents into the dimly lit room. Piano music was silently playing in the background, and immediately, she noticed her friends in a small corner huddled together. She walked away to join them, just as a waiter came.

"Hello, Miss Anders. Can I get you anything to drink?"

"Just water," Kori said. The waiter nodded and walked off to fulfill her duties.

"Heyy," Kori said as she grabbed Richard by the shoulders and massaged them.

"Hey," Richard said as he moved to let her join the group.

"It took me forever to do Biology homework today," Rachael said. She nodded off towards Garfield flirting with a waiter, "But I don't even think he started yet."

"How was practice, Victor?" Kori asked her football friend.

"Tough. The coach worked us hard major. Hey, have you guys ever decided who you were going to Homecoming dance with yet? You know it's coming up, right?"

"Yea. Well, I was planning on asking somebody… but it's just… not the time yet," Richard said slyly.

"What about you Kori?" Victor said to his friend.

"Well, nobody really asked me yet," Kori said innocently shrugging. Rachael spurted out her drink and Victor and Richard snorted.

"Yeah right! I saw all those what… twenty or so notes in your locker asking you to Homecoming!" Victor said as he smiled at her. Kori stuck her tongue out.

"What about you, huh?"

"Me? Well, I still seriously don't know who to ask yet," Victor said. He shrugged. "Guess I'll just leave it up to destiny."

"Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom really quick," Kori said. She slung her small purse on her shoulder and headed out towards the restroom. When she got in, she noticed there was nobody in there, but a bunch of middle-aged women gossiping.

She headed out towards the nearest sink and opened her bag and reached for her lip gloss. That was when the door also opened. It was Rachael.

"Hey," Rachael said watching Kori reapply her make-up. She knew her friend normally wore light make-up, including only lip gloss, mascara, and some cheek tint.

"What's up?" Kori said.

"I came to check on you. You seemed kind of… out of it today," Rachael said.

"It's nothing it's just…" Kori began. That was when a girl that Kori recognized from the school came in. She seemed drunk.

"The sky is falling. Can't you see it? It is," the girl said. She finally looked up and Kori and Rachael saw that it looked like Jennifer Lee, the broadcaster for Gotham Prep.

"It is?" Rachael said arching her eyebrows.

"Yes. The sky… it's falling… haha. We're all going to diiiee," Jennifer said. She slurred her last words and fell onto the floor with a thud.

"Oooh," Kori said. She looked at the poor girl with her tongue out touching the floor. "Her parents must feel horrible right now."

"Yeah, and not because she was drinking either, but she probably gave the entire auction a scare and disapproving the family," the Goth said. She grabbed Jennifer and pulled her over to the nearest stall. The middle aged women behind them began talking faster this time in more whispers.

"You want to head back out?" Rachael asked.

"Yea, let's go," Kori said. She took a last glance at the girl with her face in the toilet and opened the door for Rachael to go out.

"Welcome, all you wonderful people! Be prepared to take out your wallets and get ready to buy!" the auctioneer said. He had the people bring out the first items, and the parents and other elders got prepared to take their seats, while the teenagers hung around in the back.

"Ehmagawd! It's Kori and Richard! Soo ah-dorable!" a freshman said as her and a group of friends walked by. She took out her digital and quickly snapped a shot of them together before running away with her friends.

"That should be illegal," Rachael pointed out. Garfield nodded, he had finally finished flirting with the waitress and had come back to join the group.

"If you want I could hunt her down and break the camera," Victor suggested.

"No, we're good. You're okay with it, right Kori?" Richard asked turning to face her. Kori nodded. "You know, I never noticed how your hair is tonight. It's beautiful," Richard said.

"Thanks. I went to my hairstylist today during sixth period and had it put into a partially curled bun with the rest slightly curled. He even put a crown on it see?" Kori said. She smiled.

"Miss Anders, I love that dress!" a voice said. It was a photographer with an US Weekly badge. "May I get a picture of you?" Kori nodded her head and smiled as the photographer began snapping away.

"Thank you," he said as he walked away.

"How can you keep up with all the publicity?" Rachael asked.

"I have no idea, I just do," Kori said. That was when a voice came out over Kori's. A dreadful voice actually.

"Like, OH MY GOD! It's so totally Kori and Richard and the Goth and the Gorilla and the wannabe jock!" the girl's voice said. To be exact, it was the girl's, Kitten's voice.

"What do you want, Kitten?" Richard said. His teeth grinding together.

"Just you, sweetie pumpkin. You know, I haven't gotten an invite from you yet to homecoming. Did you send it via mail because like… you know you totally can't trust ups-" Kitten said but Richard stopped her.

"I never asked you in the first place," Richard said. His teeth were quite audible now and everybody could sense the anger in his voice.

"Okay, well, send it soon. Soo heyy Kori! How's your life going?" she said turning to her next victim.

"Fine, Kitten. How's yours? Chased any mice lately?" Kori said.

"Actually, in truth, yes. I've actually been chasing many," Kitten said licking her lips. She smiled at Kori who stared at her sickeningly.

"I love you dress… is it fake?" Kori said to her. She looked directly into Kitten's eyes. Now Kitten had nothing else to say. She hmphed.

"You drink, Miss Anders?" the waitress said. She began to walk towards Kori, but suddenly stopped.

"Is there something wrong?" Kori asked looking around. The waitress just suddenly stopped there. Kori began to walk towards the waitress when she suddenly heard a long rip. She looked down and half her dress was ripped revealing from her mid stomach all the way down to the Jimmy Choos. She gasped and turned. It was Kitten who had left a big foot print on her dress.

"Oops, I'm sorry," Kitten said. She smiled slyly.
